Result: Win
Point Spread: 3.00 | -110.00 Seton Hall (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: The 13-8 Seton Hall Pirates are in Washington D.C. to take on the 13-10 Georgetown Hoyas. Seton Hall is only 3-6 in Big East play and has yet to win a conference road game (0-5). The Hoyas are a modest 4-6 in the Big East but come in playing their best basketball of the year with recent wins over then No. 16 Creighton and then-No. 11 Butler.
Seton Hall: The Pirates won 25 games and went to the NCAA tourney last year and only lost one starter, although NBA draft choice Whitehead (18.2 & 5.1 APG) was th team's best player. Guard Khadeen Carrington (16.6 PPG) is this year's leading scorer but little has gone right for him lately. His numbers speak volumes, as he's 0-for-15 from three-point range the last two games and just 4 of 31 (12.9%) the last five games (Seton Hall is 1-4). Three others join him in double figures, the 6-6 Rodriguez (16.0 & 5.1), the 6-10 Delgado (14.5 & 12.9) and freshman guard Powell (11.0).
Georgetown: The Hoyas followed upsets of Creighton and Xavier by edging DePaul 76-73 this past Tuesday, giving the team a three-game winning streak heading into this contest. Georgetown survived against the Blue Demons with 7-0 senior center Bradley Hayes (4.7 & 4.9) sitting out after he injured his right foot in pregame warmups. 6-10 sophomore Jessie Govan (9.9 & 5.1) may see more time again today, if Hayes is not able to play. The Hoyas' bread-and-butter players are a pair of veteran 6-5 guards, senior Pryor (18.4 & 4.8) and junior Peak (16.2 & 4.0).
The pick: Seton Hall comes in struggling but has most of its key players back from last year's NCAA team. The Pirates went right down to the wire in its 72-70 loss at Xavier (despite leading scorer Carrington shooting 3 of 13, including 0-8 from three) and comes in 13-6 ATS in their last 19 road games. Meanwhile, the Hoyas are just 5-12 ATS in their last 17 home games and only 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. Big East opponents.Take the points and make Seton Hall an 8* play.
